From 1867 to 1974, cities across America enforced what are now called 'ugly laws' — ordinances that made it illegal for anyone 'diseased, maimed, mutilated, or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object' to appear in public. — Read the rest The...
It’s the time of year again when industry executives like to peer into their crystal balls and try to predict what the future might hold. We’ll kick off this year’s roundups with a look at quantum, something which has been hovering on the edge a major breakthrough for...
TL;DR: Save on two laptops in one with a Refurbished Lenovo 300e Chromebook (2018) for just $79.99 (Reg. $284.99) We're all iPad kids in a way. Glued to multiple devices at once, it's difficult to tear our eyes from our various screens. — Read the rest The post One laptop,...
As holiday deliveries pile up, Alabama has decided the answer to stolen packages is not less inequality or actual economic support, but a new law that turns repeated package theft into a felony, carrying up to 10 years in prison. Nothing says 'community safety' like throwing ...
Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles blamed Elon Musk's Hitler fandom on drug use. Then Wiles said she didn't. Then the tape rolled. According to the New York Times' Peter Baker, Wiles characterized Musk's behavior as irrational, brought up his drug use, and described being...
Back in 2017 I wrote about a technique for creating closures in C using JIT-compiled wrapper. It’s neat, though rarely necessary in real programs, so I don’t think about it often. I applied it to qsort, which sadly accepts no context pointer. More practical would be...
Google is turning up the volume on Gemini. This week, the company rolled out an upgraded version of Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio, introducing smoother conversations, improved instruction handling, and live speech translation to a broader range of users and products. The...

The final part of the 2025 Maintainers Summit was devoted to the kernel's development process itself. There were two sessions, one on continuity and succession planning, and the traditional discussion, led by Linus Torvalds, on any pain points that the community is...
OpenAI chief Sam Altman recently said he cannot imagine raising a newborn without AI. Coincidentally or perhaps not at all coincidentally, his company is now preparing to launch an 'adult mode' for ChatGPT that allows erotic conversations. Yep, the same AI platform...
What happens to open source projects when they reach maturity? When a project has fulfilled its purpose and become foundational to customer workloads, it no longer requires a roadmap of sweeping changes. What it needs is safe, predictable maintenance after the creators have...

Amid all the doom and gloom about AI taking jobs, there is some good news: Soft skills matter. That’s what JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon believes, anyway. While acknowledging that AI “will eliminate jobs,” Dimon, head of the country’s largest bank, told Fox News’...
